I think Linus did a cut & paste from an early JIT code while developing the current extended SHA1 notation, and left it there as a courtesy, but the directory does not deserve to be treated any more specially than, say, .git/refs/bisect.
If the subdirectories under .git/refs proliferate, we may want to switch to scanning that hierarchy at runtime, instead of the current hard-coded set, although I think that would be overkill.
